Services
Six services. One person doing the work.
Software engineering, cloud and APIs, web and mobile apps, architecture and product design. You work directly with me, from the first conversation to launch and the support after it.
Software engineering and development
Labs
New products, new features and the systems behind them, written properly and shipped in small, safe releases.
- Backend and full-stack development
- TypeScript, Node, Java and Python
- Tests and CI from the start
Web and mobile applications
Studios and Labs
Websites, web apps and mobile apps that load quickly, work for everyone and are easy to keep up to date.
- Websites and web apps
- Flutter apps for iOS and Android
- Store submission
Cloud, APIs and integrations
Labs
Cloud foundations, documented APIs and integrations with the payment, messaging and business tools you already use.
- AWS, GCP and Firebase
- External and partner APIs
- Payments with Stripe
Technical architecture and consulting
Labs
A clear plan before the expensive decisions are made, and an experienced second opinion when you need one.
- Architecture reviews
- Technical due diligence
- Fractional tech leadership
Product design and digital experiences
Studios
From the first sketch to polished screens: flows, prototypes and interfaces people understand without a manual.
- Discovery and prototypes
- UI and UX design
- Design systems
Ongoing development and maintenance
Labs and Studios
Keeping a live product healthy and moving: fixes, updates and new features from someone who already knows the code.
- Updates and new features
- Dependency and security upgrades
- Fixes when something breaks
Working together
How engagements work.
Two ways to set it up, or a free app review first. Either way you deal with me directly, with no account managers, and every piece of work is agreed in writing before it starts.
Fixed-scope project
A defined piece of work, with the scope, milestones and price agreed in writing before anything starts.
Good for: A new product or website, an API or integration, a migration or an architecture review.
- A short call to understand the problem
- A written proposal with scope, milestones and price
- Weekly progress you can see and try
- Handover with documentation
Ongoing retainer
A set amount of my time each month for development, maintenance or technical leadership on something already live.
Good for: Live products that need steady improvement, upkeep and an engineer who knows the code.
- Agree the monthly time and the first priorities
- One shared list of what comes next
- Regular releases and a short monthly summary
- Review the arrangement together each month
Not ready to commit? Start smaller.
A free app review
I use your live app, web app or website as a customer would, then send a deck of what to fix first, concept screens and a short video walkthrough, within five working days. No obligation.
Not sure which fits? Start with a short call and I'll suggest one.
Go deeper.
HalfRocket Labs
The core of what I do: software engineering, cloud architecture, APIs and integrations, backend systems and technical leadership for teams building something that has to work.
HalfRocket Studios
Websites, mobile apps, UI and UX, and product design, for when the thing people touch matters as much as what sits behind it.
Looking for the games? They are AadhiPixels Ltd titles that I design and develop. See the games.
Not sure where to start?
Tell me about the project. I'll suggest the smallest useful first step, or say so if I'm not the right fit.
